Martin as Detective West, Rick Cosnett as Eddie Thawne, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Candice Patton as Iris West, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon and Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells. Guest actors in the pilot who would have recurring roles if the show moves forward include Patrick Sabongui as David Singh, Michelle Harrison as Nora Allen and John Wesley Shipp, with more to possibly come.

The only thing that sort of brings it down is how on the torso you get an awkward shift between cloth and leather. It works for GA but not the flash. In regards to the physique, I don't mind as Flash is a runner. It's only Grant being a Parker clone I HATE.

The set photos make it look ridiculous, IMO. Like, the fastest being in the universe wouldn't wear something as baggy and leathery as that. It looks tailor made for CW television, which isn't a compliment. It'll probably look better with proper lighting and whatnot, but it still doesn't look all that great at all. They'll have to go through a few iterations of that suit before it's ready for the big screen.

Personally, I think it's too busy. There are all these textures and patterns, and separate pieces that don't exactly mesh, not only style wise,but conceptually as well. I would have been happier with something a little more simple, this coming from a HUGE Flash fan, who is currently working on his very own Flash cosplay suit as we speak.

I still think it looks a bit daft in live-action, but considering I thought it couldn't be done without looking totally ridiculous, they've done a decent job.

I'll be interested to hear their rationale for him wearing it though. Just because that's what superheroes do has never been quite good enough for me (ok, but why THAT suit/colour/design?), so it'll be interesting to see how they answer that question.
